Answer:

Mean = 587

Median = 585

Mode = 590

Standard deviation = 112.538

The mean and the median

Yes, both mean and median have close values

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

365, 420, 450, 460, 480, 480, 510, 520, 520, 550, 550, 560, 570, 580, 580, 590, 590, 590, 590, 600, 600, 620, 630, 660, 680, 700, 710, 775, 790, 890

The mean, m = Σx / n = 17610 / 30

Mean = 587

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term

Median = 1/2(31)th term

Median = 15.5th = (580+590) / 2 = 585

The mode = 590 (observation with highest frequency, 4)

Standard deviation, s = √Σ(x-m)²/(n-1)

s = 112.538
